Very Computer

I took most defaults for configure. I modified the httpd.conf file to
allow users to run .cgi scripts from their public_html directories. And
set the httpd.conf file much the same as I had in 1.2.6.

From my reading of the documentation text in the httpd.conf file, if I
want users to be able to execute CGI from their directories (like
public_html) I uncomment the following line:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Which I did. When that didn't work I included the following Directory
directive set:

<Directory /usr/users/*/public_html/*>
    AllowOverride All
    Options All MultiViews
</Directory>

Still I see things like:

You don't have permission to access
/~uuu/classes/F99/363/home05/nextanimal.cgi on this server.

But the file does exist:

-rwsr-xr-x   1 uuu    users   786432 Sep 29 14:58 \
        /usr/users/uuu/public_html/classes/F99/363/home05/nextanimal.cgi

The above file at the end of a symbolic link but I thought "Options
All" gave me both FollowSymLinks and ExecCGI.

I've even included the directive set:

<Directory /usr/users/uuu/public_html/classes/F99/363/home05>
    AllowOverride All
    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI MultiViews
</Directory>

Still it won't allow me to exec a .cgi.

I feel like I'm missing something simple here, or at least I hope it
is simple.

Can someone tell me where I've gone wrong?

Thanks!
